Paladins is a free-to-play team-based multiplayer first-person shooter video game released in September 2016 as an early access product by Hi-Rez Studios. Within a week of its release on Steam, the game had attracted 800,000 downloads according to Steam Spy and was one of the top 10 most popular games by concurrent users on the service.[1]
Each player controls a champion character with differing abilities, and they are split into two teams who compete to achieve objectives. In response to accusations that the game is an Overwatch clone, Hi-Rez COO Todd Harris said that "Overwatch was not the inspiration for Paladins", and "the game that deserves the most credit is Team Fortress 2".[2]
Closed beta began on November 17, 2015. The game officially went into open beta on September 16, 2016. [3]
